The Haven
Local Highlights
The Factory is a great local spot with something for everyone! You'll find everything from shopping and eating, a Saturday Farmer's Market, to entertainment like concerts, theater, and more!
A few of our favorites are the Korean BBQ tacos at Mojo's Tacos and the Brambleberry Crisp at Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams. Be sure to stop and stay awhile at Honest Coffee, one of our best local Franklin coffee shops.

Certainly a highlight of Franklin is Harlinsdale Farm! Offering paths for walking/running, TONS of green space to throw a frisbee or just take in the scenery, and an inlet to the Harpeth River. You've got to check out this beautiful space!
Harlinsdale is typically the location of Pilgrimage Festival in late summer! It is also just across the street from The Factory.

Some of the best southern food around! The biscuits and jam will leave you wanting more. We recommend visiting Loveless on a weekday for breakfast or lunch. If you go on a weekend, you'll spend at least 45-60 minutes (or more) waiting for a table as this is a tourist hot spot. If you do end up waiting, there are several little shops to check out while exploring the grounds at Loveless Cafe!
